APSEA - School-Age Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Services are available to school aged children with a diagnosed hearing loss who live in the provinces of New Brunswick or Nova Scotia.

The APSEA itinerant teacher works within schools to provide additional support necessary for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to access educational programming. Support can include developing expressive and receptive communication, self-advocacy, auditory development, amplification management, career exploration. The itinerant teacher, as a member of the school team, provides disability-specific expertise. Service delivery can include direct instruction to the student, consultation with the school team, participation in school meetings, collaboration and/or co-teaching with classroom teachers, formal classroom observations, support for audiological equipment, in-servicing for school staff, and establishing a relationship with parents of a child who is diagnosed after school entry.
